I dont know how i read this as “police arrested a dolphin”

[justthings]

Dumbass me clicked the video thinking how the hell police arrested a dolphin 😅😅😂

[pauldeyaeger]

Them cops mustve been buccaneers fans 😂

[botsharing]

Any one else have a serious job where you have responsibilities? If i mess up, there is absolutely no Administrative leaves, promotion or a raise.... WTF?!

[JxsonKing]

how are you 31 years old best wide receiver in the nfl and you don’t have a drivers license???

"He didn't say anything offensive."

It wouldn't matter if he did. You're allowed to express yourself. It's called the First Amendment. He refused to roll his window down a second time as he waited for a speeding ticket. That's when the escalation began.

Cop didnt do anything wrong, Hill is not above the law.

[MG-btxs]

The amount of people in this comment section who have made judgments based on a cut up 25 second video is concerning. This goes for both sides.

[MaNNeRz]

No licence. No insurance. Treat him as a criminal.... Why should he be treated any differently?

[Ryan-ixdg]

I've watched the cops body cam video, and tyreek is def on the wrong. He kept rolling up his window and wasn't listening. Cops did what was needed

[mikesims]

Thats how you act when you're never held accountable for your actions!

[ajay.gillig]

Yall need to go watch the FULL video that was released.
The fact ppl are bending over backwards to defend a (pregnant) woman beater amazes me..

[dudepool]

Show us the entire footage with sound! Then we will really know what truly happened! 😂

From seeing the officers body cam, tyreek was driving recklessly. He then didn’t follow lawful orders, was an officer safety risk from not following orders, was disrespectful to the officers and tried to control the situation. Then all his football player buddies started getting involved which escalated the situation. Take responsibility Tyreek.

[joeman]

i want his mclaren if he is going to jail

[ko]

Tyreek Hill is a bold face liar to stand on that podium and say he doesn’t know why he was detained is ridiculous and he should be suspended for the way he treated those police officers. Watch the body cam ppl because it will change your perspective on this whole situation that could have been avoided if he didn’t act like an entitled brat!!

[MarksmansBeast]

just a heads up whenever there is a complaint that reaches internal affairs about a particular officer(s). It’s within police policies to put the officer(s) on administrative duty until the complaint has been resolved. let’s not try to over exaggerate things here I watched the unedited civilian camera perspective, and this dude was acting like he was the cops bosses and got humbled very quickly.

[JohnDoe-bozi]

Not nearly enough data to make an informed decision what happened here

[lhrejhu]

Saying offensive things is not illegal.

[kainsea]

He should be sacked, that level of aggression will take a life
